Article Synopsis
- - The research focused on creating and analyzing acetylated starch/papain composites by using a specific method to encapsulate papain in acetylated cassava starch, with a low degree of substitution (DS = 0.037).
- - Results showed that increasing starch concentration improved encapsulation efficiency (EE) but decreased loading capacity (LC) due to aggregation, while surfactants like Tween 80 enhanced EE and LC but reduced papain activity.
- - The best results were found with a 30 mg/mL starch concentration, 7 mL solution volume, and 3% v/v Tween 80, achieving a high EE of 96.23% but lowering papain activity to 56%; however
